Aprilaire Model 5000 Whole-House Air Cleaner with One Touch Control

Best for healthy homes: the Model 5000 Electronic Air Cleaner.

The Aprilaire Model 5000 Whole-Home Electronic Air Cleaner has been rated #1 three years running by a leading products ratings magazine for some very good reasons: It electronically charges particles and traps them like a magnet better than any other air cleaner – using 72 square feet of Aprilaire-branded filtering media. The Model 5000 is tried, true, and tested – delivering the highest efficiency possible.

Installed by your R & R Heating and Cooling HVAC professional as part of your central heating and cooling system, the Aprilaire Model 5000 Electronic Air Cleaner can help give you the cleanest, healthiest air in every room of your home.

How Does It Work?BenefitsDocuments

Through patented technology, particles entering the air cleaner pass through a control electrode, which focuses and intensifies an electrical field generated by ionizing wires. The particles are charged in the electrical field and then collected on grounded micro-fiber media. There is no monthly cleaning of collector plates like with other types of electronic air cleaners, in fact, the Model 5000’s media needs to be changed only once a year.

Fact: Home’s today are being built or remodeled with more weather stripping, caulking and insulation becoming both tighter and more energy efficient in the process. The problem? More contaminants are becoming trapped inside our homes. The air we breathe indoors can be loaded with pollutants like respirable dust, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, bacteria, viruses and more that aren’t finding their way out through cracks or air leaks in the home. With estimates that a typical person spends 90% of their time indoors and takes up to 20,000 breaths every day – you want to be breathing the cleanest air possible.

Don’t just treat the symptoms of poor indoor air quality—remove the problems with the Model 5000 Whole-Home Electronic Air Cleaner.

The benefits and results speak for themselves:

Traps 99% of airborne pollen, mold and spore-sized particles

Eliminates 98% of airborne bacteria-sized particles

Removes 94% of respirable dust, dust which the EPA reports can trigger asthma

Captures 80% of airborne particles the size of tobacco smoke

Easy to maintain—the 5000 requires infrequent replacement of filtering media and wiping down of ionizing wires—a process that can be completed in less than 20 minutes

Unlike competitive electronic air cleaners there is never a need for the frequent and time-consuming cleaning or washing of collector cells

While other air cleaners are simply “on” or “off,” Aprilaire gives you unprecedented control.

Is it allergy season? Are you having a party? Does someone in your family suffer from asthma? These are all factors that impact when and how often you might want the air in your home cleaned. That’s why the Model 4000 Series Air Cleaner Control offers four different cleaning modes to put you in charge.

Constant Cleaning – Runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Perfect for homes with pets or individuals who suffer from year-round allergies or asthma.

Automatic – An every-day setting that removes mold spores, bacteria, allergens and even viruses from the air from 30 minutes every hour.

Event Clean – A great setting for parties or when visitors bring animals, smoke or other irritants in the home, Event Clean gives you a three-hour burst of cleaning.

Allergies – For those days when pollen counts are high, this setting runs for 24 hours straight, then turns off.

Two models of Aprilaire whole-home media air cleaner with active control are available for you to choose from depending on your furnace type. All models provide the same superior performance and come with a five-year limited warranty.
